Log Text: We just caught oblique glimpses of it from the road below. Once at the horse itself, it is surprising just how small the cuts in the turf are. I was expecting them to be measured in yards, but instead you could measure them in feet, or inches in some places. I'm sure there are better places to view it, but it was great to see the way it was made up close.

Apologies for the quality of the picture, it is a bit blurred and the only photo I have of this site with a bit of space around and some people in for scale.

Log Text: A must see on our day out from London to Avebury. When we got there there was a grade school outing having lunch on the barrow. It was fun to see the kids playing around on what to them must have just been another field trip, but for us was a (possibly) once in a lifetime visit.

Log Text: On the way to Weyland's Smithy, stopped by this group to see our first barrow in Britain. Peaceful setting, and a nice taste of what was to come in Wiltshire. Would have like more time to be able to explore the different barrow types here.

Visited: Couldn't find on 21st Aug 1999
Log Text: We approached the site from the south aiming for 46.265, 7.42044, but those coordinates were located seemingly on the face of a cliff. Further research is needed before the second attempt. Perhaps the pictures are of a vertical face best accessed from the N/NW.

Log Text: I was looking for a reservoir (English) when Reservoir (German) could mean water tank. I was a bit confused by the lack of a Stausee in the area. I think the row may be in the bit of woods that extend to the west just after the Y junction i the path.

Heidenstein (Schwörstadt) submitted by AlexHunger on 4th Sep 2005. Heidenstein - Schwörstadt (Front)
Front upright orthostat with "Soul Hole" and only remainder of former Dolmen. 1.9 Meter tall and about 3 meters wide and dated to about 2500 BC.
The cap stone was alledgedly carted away by the local blacksmith several decades ago. The rear side shows traces of fire due to the burning of trash. Archeologists have marked out the outline of the rest of the dolmen with bricks and set up an information sign.
It and the Toten Mann are the southernmost Dolmen...

Log Text: We first read the information panel, outlining the excavation and finds, and then on the "inside" of the dolmen we found some freshly laid flowers, which made the dry numbers or excavated skeletal remains in the information seem a little more human.

Hunnenstein (Dossenbach) submitted by Faseso on 11th Nov 2016. Hunnenstein near Dossenbach. The surrounding landscape is also of importance here. There seems to have been some a henge, ritual site - nearby is also the Menhir of Dossenbach. There could have been a connection of the two.
